I want people to be inspired that I've always strived for excellence and I've always gone beyond what anybody ever thought I could do, what I thought I myself could do. And I've allowed myself to be inspired, kept my eyes open and my senses open to inspiration around me.

To actually go beyond that and to go harder in the last third in the race is something I don't even like talking about it's so hard. But that's what I need to train for and that's my goal, to get to that point, and to be able just to viciously attack as if I am fighting for my life. That's it. That's all I want.

I am kind of like a diesel. It is the cyclist in me.

I don't like getting out when I could be painting. And when I'm painting, I don't want anybody else around.

Excellence endures and sustains. It goes beyond motivation into the realms of inspiration.

I critique myself way harder than anybody else could critique me.
